About Me as Researcher:

I am a PhD candidate in Computational Media at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), advised by Lane Harrison, Phoebe Toups Dugas, and Rose Bohrer. I am a member of the WPI Intentional Design Studio and WPI VIEW Lab. As an interdisciplinary researcher, my work explores the intersection of human-computer interaction (HCI), human-centered (critical and cultural) computing, data visualization, interactive media and game studies, and ethical studies.

Collaborating with scholars across the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, and China, I employ interdisciplinary and mixed-methods approaches to examines the intersections of digital health, communication, culture, design, and marginalized identities, with the goal of generating actionable insights and design solutions for real-world challenges.

As a research assistant at WPI Computer Science department, I design, develop, and evaluate HCI and data visualization products, interactive systems that support and promote digital & mental health, ethics, communication, scholarship, and external partnerships.
